Consider ethene:HHCCHHIf one of the hydrogen atoms attached to each of the carbon atoms in ethene is replacedby a bromine atom, two distinct <strong>compounds</strong> are formed:BrCCBrBrCCHHHHBrcis-1,2-dibromoethene(bromines on same side)trans-1,2-dibromoethene(bromines on different sides)This type of isomerism is called cis-trans isomerism. The prefix cis- and trans- arederived from the Latin; cis- “on this side” and trans- “across.”Worked Example 7-8Give the name of the following alkenes, using cis or trans.CH 3C = CCH 2 CH 3CH 3C = CH H HCH 2 CH 3(a)(b)Solutiona) The longest chain has 5 carbons with the double bond starts at carbon 2.The name is 2-pentene. The two identical groups (the hydrogen atoms) are onthe same side of the double, so we use the prefix “cis”.The full name is cis-2-pentene.b) The longest chain has 5 carbons with the double bond starts at carbon 2.The name is 2-pentene. The two identical groups (the hydrogen atoms) are onthe opposite side of the double bond, so we use the prefix “trans”.The full name is trans-2-pentene.H7-15
